is operating. Do not touch the metal parts during opera-
tion as they may be hot.
• Always handle the appliance only by its plastic side
handles and never by touching the wooden cross-bars.
• Before any cleaning operation, disconnect the appliance
and leave it to cool down completely.
• For your safety, it is recommended that you never use or
leave your appliance in a place that is exposed to bad wea-
ther or humidity.
• Never use the appliance for additional heating.
•Never place aluminium dishes or foils between the food
and the cooking plate
• Never plug in the heating element while it is removed from
the appliance. The element is designed for use exclusively
with this appliance and any other use is prohibited.
• Never operate the appliance without water in the pan. This
appliance is designed for use with a minimum volume of
water. The purpose of this water is to minimise smoking
and prevent overheating of the pan and work areas. Food
drippings fall into the water.
IMPORTANT: This is an electric grill and should never be
used with charcoal or any other fuel.
• Avoid cooking excessively fatty foods. The heating element
reaches temperatures similar to those of conventional char-
coal barbecues. Food drippings may ignite spontaneously
from time to time.

SET-UP AND USE

First use

• When unpacking the appliance, take care to remove and
check all packing for parts.
• We recommend that you clean the stainless steel tray and
the cooking plate before first use.
• A new unit may smoke slightly during the first use. To
reduce the chance of smoking, allow the appliance to heat
for 10 minutes, and then cool for approximately 30 minutes.
Set-up and use
• To use the wind shield, place both ends of the wind shield
in the stainless steel pan, and then tilt the back piece of the
wind shield and insert its tab into the pan's middle slot. It is
not necessary to use the wind shield when cooking
indoors.
• Pour 1.6 litres of water into the stainless steel pan.
• Insert the heating element base into the provided bracket.
Ensure that the element is inserted correctly. If the red
indicator lights up, the element has been inserted
incorrectly.
IMPORTANT: never operate the appliance without water
in the pan. During use, it is important to watch the water
level and add more water as needed, taking care to pour in
the water slowly to prevent hot water from splashing out.
If you inadvertently allow the water pan to go dry,
unplug the appliance immediately and allow it to cool
completely before pouring more water into the pan to
prevent sudden vaporisation and ignition of any greasy
residue on the heating element.
